17,000 employees at leading Midwest health services provider move to web-based system for appraisals, succession, and compensation planning
HRchitect featured Halogen Software in our May 2008 release of The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management and also includes them in our list of top Talent Management Systems vendors that businesses should consider. Halogen Software also participated in the HRchitect Beauty Pageant on Talent Management Systems on November 21, 2008.
Sisters of St. Francis Health Services, Inc. has selected Halogen’s leading talent management suite to streamline processes and drive more value from HR strategies. The leading health service provider has more than 17,000 employees across 13 facilities in Indiana and Illinois, and offers a broad range of acute care services.
Sisters of St. Francis Health Services is moving from a paper-based employee appraisal system to a completely automated talent management system which tightly integrates employee appraisals, 360 and multi-rater feedback, goal tracking, compensation planning, and succession planning. Sisters of St. Francis Health Services joins more than 500 healthcare facilities across North America that rely on Halogen, the clear leader for employee performance management solutions in the healthcare market.
Halogen was selected over other vendors based on the flexibility of the solution, the full feature set of applications, and the product suite’s healthcare-specific focus. With multiple locations across two states, it is important for the Sisters of St. Francis Health Services to deploy a single system that provides industry best practice solutions to the healthcare environment.
“In making the move to a Web-based talent management system, it is important to our organization that we are able to address the needs of each of our facilities, while establishing a performance-driven culture for all of our 17,000 employees,” said Tom Creevey, Vice President Human Resources, Sisters of St. Francis Health Services, Inc.
According to IDC, in service industries such as healthcare, aging workers are beginning to retire while younger workers are not entering these fields in numbers that can maintain the status quo. Employers in these industries are learning that both attraction and retention are key to sustaining a competitive edge. The ability to provide constant, fair and consistent feedback through employee performance management is an important part of retaining and attracting key staff.
“Halogen is very familiar with the healthcare market and provided positive customer references from various healthcare organizations. In selecting Halogen, we are confident that our system will be able to address all of our hospital’s talent management related needs while providing the functionality HR, managers, and employees need on a day-to-day basis,” said David Terek, HRIS Business Solution Manager, Sisters of St. Francis Health Services.
The American Hospital Association (AHA) has identified and exclusively endorsed Halogen eAppraisal Healthcare as its employee performance and talent management solution of choice for member hospitals and healthcare organizations across the United States. More than 500 healthcare facilities across North America currently rely on Halogen.
